The 2015 BET Hip-Hop Awards aired on Tuesday (Oct. 13) night. Kendrick Lamar and Big Sean were big winners at the ceremony, earning three awards apiece.
Lamar came out victorious with “Alright” for Best Hip-Hop Video and Impact Track. He also won for Lyricist of the Year. The song was featured on his sophomore album To Pimp a Butterfly.
Big Sean’s “Blessings” featuring Drake and Kanye West earned him awards for the People’s Champ as well as Best Collabo, Duo or Group. “IDFWU” with E-40 won Best Club Banger. Both tracks come from the G.O.O.D. Music rapper’s Dark Sky Paradise album.
Drake, who led the pack with 12 nominations took home two awards, including MVP of the Year. Fetty Wap also earned two trophies, snagging wins for Track of the Year and the "Who Blew Up" award.
While only three awards were televised (a win for Big Sean, one for Fetty Wap and Scarface’s Lifetime Achievement award, presented by Ludacris), the show was full of performances. This year's performers included Future, Dej Loaf, Diddy and Rich Homie Quan, among others.
